A team approach to neuroscience nursing critical care orientation

J Neurosci Nurs. 2006 Oct;38(5):390-4. doi: 10.1097/01376517-200610000-00012.

Abstract

The evolution of the neuroscience education team has been a very positive development at our institution. In addition to their other daily responsibilities, the team members coordinated the orientation of 80 new staff members hired in a 2-year period. This diverse group presented challenges, but the overall outcome was increased staff retention. The team has seen new staff hires grow into competent neuroscience nurses.
